But, the reality is that it's a culture that simply cannot understand that the bonds of male friendship can be strong without sexual overtones. Happens in the military all the time. Those bonds are deep. Men would die for their brothers. But they wouldn't sleep with them.
The accusation is centuries old. The same folks who would see Sam and Frodo as gay, would say the same thing about David and Jonathan in the Bible.
What you saw in Sam and Frodo was loyalty and love. Not lust.
Bingo. As if two guys can't hang out together - even love one another - without having sexual feelings for one another. There's more to love than sexuality, but seems like society would like us to forget that.
Forgot to mention that the Gay Bishop mentioned that Christ Himself "traveled with men, did not marry or date women..."
...Well draw your own conclusion.
